With lots of the MBBE girls it was awesome to catch up with good friends.
Lovely make up artist Daniel Busuttil welcomed us to the event. All of the MBBE girls are in agreement, he has the most perfect eyebrows that any of us have ever seen.
With the lovely Celina from Fables in Fashion:
And Jacie who had a “Futuristic Mad Men” themed make over…
Love this photo of her so much:
And this one too, James took so many awesome photos of the night!!
After all of us had caught up, the transformations began!
I was given the royal treatment by the fantastic Philip Buck who is so funny and sweet. The girls started plotting ways to keep him in Australia and not let him go home!
Now before we get to the “after” pictures I should probably explain the idea of an Illamasqua Transformation. The tag line for the brand is “Your Alter Ego” so a transformation is different to a regular make over because it is supposed to take you completely out of your comfort zone and show you an alter ego. So if you think it will be too traumatic to see me in anything other than sweet cutesy things it’s probably a good idea to skip the rest of this post -_-’
Philip’s skills were amazing. I told him the look that I usually go for and that I wanted something completely crazy and he ran with it!
My eyes started freaking out at the powder (crazy sensitive eyes) half way and watering everywhere so I undid some of his beautiful work, instead of re-doing he took it as inspiration and turned it into something even more awesome!
This sparkly pigment was awesome and I have added to my want-list!
Starting to get darker now…
Adding more pigment…
Before, the regular plain old me with just foundation, lip gloss and lashes:
After, the transformed Tim Burton nightmare me:
And with the mastermind himself!
Rocking our transformations:
And with Mel who looked absolutely stunning in her Black Swan inspired Transformation
And Daniel who was the genius behind it!
By the end of the transformation there was a whole crowd of onlookers watching us XD
Some of the MBBE girls and I trying to do our scary faces:
We’re not so great at being scary though!
From left to right: Maddy, Val, Jess, me, Celina and Stef
The rest of the post is just going to be pic spam because it was so cool it deserves pictures!
Haha the poor other girls were convinced that they were going to have nightmares about me!
I think James was a little worried about waking up to this too hahaha!
These ones were taken once we got home and could control the lighting
My absolute favorite photo:
All in all it was a fantastic night and I really enjoyed breaking out of my comfort zone. I like trying new things, that’s how you discover old favorites! I would definitely recommend having an Illamasqua transformation, it’s an awesomely fun way to try something new.
I hope you enjoyed seeing my alter ego ;) |
awesome! I know your usual style, but you totally rock the broken doll look, it even compliments your sweet hair and outfit! I sense a story behind the girl with the big sad eyes :)
:D Thanks lovely! I had a ball being nice and dark that night!
I love your transformation (must be the gothic in me XD ). Your usual self is awesome and so is your alterego. ^^
Haha the punk kid in me loved it too XD Thank you!
oh my gosh, that first black and white photo of you doesn’t look like you at all! You look like Nikki Webster :P But it looks amazing!
XD I’m not quite sure how to take that haha!
Wow what an artist he did an amazing job I love it!
I’ve yet to try Illamasqua out they’re a bit pricey but I’ve heard fantastic things about them and they do the most fantastic shades of lipstick, experimenting with make-up is totally on my to do list this year xoxo
He was a great artist! Playing with make up is a great goal for the year, it’s so much fun to get out of comfort zones!
Oh, too much fun! You remind me of a cute but scary Chuckie doll LMAO! A female one, of course.
XD Hahaha!
Eeeeee, Daniel’s eyebrows! And I just recently started following Jacie, she is so gorgeous and I’m starting to think she’s an inspiration to me. You totally rock your darker look, it just feels like you are up to no good at all and love it >D
She is completely gorgeous and a really nice no nonsense person too. Mwahaha definitely up to no good :P
OMG Princess!!! You turned into the Princess in the Tim Burton’s world now!!!
Heehee don’t worry Minnie, only for one day! :D
i love the makeup put on you! Pretty Lolita-ish!
It was a wonderful experience :D
Wow! I’m so used to you looking cutesy, but this totally works for you! I love it! I think you’re the first person i’ve ever seen pull of pink eyebrows too!!
I have to agree, Daniel does seem to have oddly perfect eyebrows! Your make-up artist seems to aswell!
Haha if only I could do the pink eyebrows all the time XD I think all those boys have some kind of serious eyebrow obsession, they are completely awesome!
Looooooooveeeee~ it xD
I just need to save one picture of this look because it rocks! :D
Haha I’m glad you like it that much!
Woah! I really love your make-up! It really looks super cool on you! How did they do the teary eye thing? I do it sometimes, but it just does not look as good as that.
Thanks for sharing! As always, I love your blog. ^_^
The teary eye thing was done with sealant gel and black sparkle pigment so it looked a little wet close up :D
Thats awesome! Since I work at Chadstone I should probably go check out Illamasqua… I didnt even realised it had opened there. Your alter ego makeup looks soo good!!
You should totally go check them out, the artists were all super friendly :D
very cool! You look creepy :D, good creepy! Like a doll ^^ I really like the 3rd last pic where you are smiling :D
Haha yay for good creepy! <3
I just love love love this make up *o* It suits you so well! I wish I could do something that crazy on me, even for school! i hope he gave you some tips, that’s something I love with make up artists, they always have t
stuffs to teach you!
Hope it’ll encourage you to try it a bit more often ^^
take care
Yep they do proper sessions where they give you tips etc and also film a dvd of the day for you to take home. I didn’t do that for this day but it sounds like another fun day ahead!
BLIMEY!
You really suit the goth look :)
You kind of remind me a little of Tyler Momson from The Pretty Reckless in some of those photos :)
I had no idea who that was but googling leads me to take it as a compliment XD Thank you!
Interesting transform!! But you totally rock it. :))
What kind of eyelashes are you wearing, they’re the perfect shape!!
Thanks! They ar just cheap ones from Daiso :)
Looks like a lot of fun! :D
It really was!
the black and white photo of you getting your make up done looks wonderfully candid. props to the photographer who i notice is also your lovely boyfriend (:
He is indeed, also pretty much the most talented guy I know :D
Wow, dare I say I almost love your alter ego as much as I love the regular you? (:
